HEAD COACH MICHELLE WINKLER SAID
"We played incredibly solid today - didn't make many errors, just didn't have as many putts drop compared to the leaders. Gracie came out on fire today. I am so proud of her, as well as the rest of the team. They have put in a lot of hard work and focus these last two weeks. We are very close to the lead, and I believe we can win this tournament, both individually and as a team!"
All 10 teams will tee it up for round two on Monday with a final round scheduled for Tuesday.
